Review: Lion Guard Rise of Scar Playset
Ever since Megan was a baby her favourite film has been The Lion King, mine too if I’m honest. I had no idea until recently that Disney Junior had created The Lion Guard with new and original characters, Kion and Scar. Since we discovered this show it hasn’t been off our screens, and all three of the little ones are hooked!
When we were sent the Lion Guard Rise of Scar Playset to review I knew that the children would love it, and I wasn’t wrong!
The playset comes with the shows main character Kion, a lion cub with movable head and legs.
There are so many features including a light up Scar with pop out flames;
A monkey launching tree trap which doubles up as a swing for Kion;
A lava pool trap which was the children’s favourite as it launched a ball of lava at Scar (and eachother!);
A collapsing bridge at the push of a button;
And a crocodile pool, ready to snap up anyone who falls from the bridge!
I love that the set really allows the children to use their imaginations, recreating scenes from the show or making up those of their own.
My only negative is that for the price (RRP £49.99) I would have liked a couple more figures so that the children could have really enjoyed the playset together. Anyone with more than one child will understand just how difficult it can be to share one figure between siblings!
Harry was so excited when the girls went to school this morning so that he could swoop on the playset and finally get his hands on Kion, and he happily played with the set for a good hour which speaks volumes for a three year old.
The children are really pleased with the playset and seeing how much they love it I would be happy to recommend this to other parents. When you’re a Lion Guard fan, this set is pretty ROARsome!!
Sorry I just couldn’t resist!!
The Lion Guard Rise of Scar playset is currently available to buy at Smyths toy store.
I had one like this when I was younger and I absolutely loved it! Your kids look like they do too!
They really do! Who doesn’t love The Lion King! xx
This is fantastic! I love that it kept your three year old’s attention for an hour.. that is definitely the sign of a good toy!
Always!! He loves it! xx
This looks amazing. I would have loved this when i was younger
Me too! I loved anything like this! xx
Oh this looks fab! My 4 year old is loving playsets like this with figures that she can make up stories with x
It’s a great set Emma! xx
I love the lion king. I’ve never seen the lion guard though. This play set looks so cool and fun for kids 🙂 xx
Its just a spin off show, but very similar to the movie! xx
This is such a cute playset! My Annabelle would love something like this as she really enjoys imagining her own adventures. xx
It’s a great playset, the kids love it! xx
We’re still waiting for Disney to put out The Cheetah King movie. Of course since they’re so fast,it would be a 10 minute short film…..
Good point on the just one figure,45.00 is a lot for just one. Two would be better
Haha I would love to see that movie Patrick! Your comment made me smile as always. xxx
We recently introduced my nephew to the Lion King and he loves Kion so much, he would definitely love this play set, it seems lovely
Ahh Im sure he would. My kids are obsessed! xx
I love the lion king too and that plays at would make for a great gift to give :)x
I agree, I know lots of children who would love it! xx
I love the look of this. I had so many Lion King toys when I was little, takes me back! xo
Ah you must be much younger than me! I was in my early teens when The Lion King came out! xx
I love the Lion King so I’d be tempted to get this more for myself than my child?? My only problem is the price – £49.99 seems to steep for any playset to me, but I suppose that’s just the price of things these days!
I agree, it’s expensive but it’s Disney, I think we all just accept that Disney will be more expensive than other brands! xx
I sobbed my heart out at The Lion King as a child and I’ve never been able to watch it since haha
Awwww I know what you mean, I always have a little tear! xx
So cute! My little boy is just getting into role play with figures and so cute to watch. He hasn’t watched many movies so lion king may be next as I forgot it’s a classic
The Lion King is amazing! I’m sure he would love it! xx
The lion king is one of my favourite movies as well but I don’t know how I’d feel about more movies etc. The play set looks so cute x
You can’t mess with the best, the original will always be unbeatable! xx
my goodness what a brilliant lion king toy set, my kids would love this for Christmas
It’s a great set! The kids love it! xx
What a lovely playset. I am sure it would be a success with little man! 🙂
My children love The Lion Guard! xx
It is a great set isn’t it – Sebby adores it and now has quite a collection of Lion Guard toys
Haha mine are already asking for more! xx
That last photo is SO cute. My niece and nephew would love something like this – something to add to their christmas list.
